Derelict properties sold for just £1 have now been turned into stunning family homes
The homes, which were sold as part of an ambitious council initiative to sell off derelict properties in Liverpool, will have their full transformations showcased to the world later this month
A SELECTION of homes sold for just £1 have been totally transformed.
The homes, which were sold as part of an ambitious council initiative to sell off derelict properties in Liverpool, will have their full transformations showcased to the world later this month.
Rachael explained: “When we saw this house, it was a bit of a shock.
“There was a waterfall coming down the staircase because the roof had no lining, the bathroom had no floor so you could see through to the kitchen, plaster was peeling off the walls.
“It was the worst house we’d ever seen and I know most people would have just turned around and walked away but what we saw, beyond the poor condition, was the space."
Rachael added: “It’s been the best pound we’ve ever spent and the journey has been a real roller coaster.
Homes for a Pound is a scheme set up by Liverpool Council in a bid to fill 6,000 unused houses.
So far, one hundred families have been allocated a property - with a further 350 families being considered for one.
To be eligible for a £1 home individuals have to live or work in Liverpool.
